“Vivify” fiber art exhibit at the Annex Gallery

This art exhibit aims to respect the traditions of fiber work, while also being interactive and challenging the imagination, says curator Nancy J. Rodwan, who is also one of six artists featured in the exhibit along with Boisali Biswas, Marcelyn Bennett-Carpenter, Jada Bowden, Deja Milany and Najma Ma’at Wilson. Some artists use discarded materials in the work, which not only gives them new life but calls attention to the importance of reusing and repurposing items instead of throwing them away, while others use hair, wood and traditional textiles of indigenous people. Opening reception is 4-9 p.m. Sat. while the exhibit runs through April 30 when there will be an artist talk at 2 p.m. 333 Midland, Highland Park. rodwanproductions.com.
